Having been in office for less than a month, the new U.S. Consul General to Hong Kong and Macao has already been restless, calling a meeting with his "former subordinates" to plot mischief. The people of Hong Kong can no longer bear it, directly blocking the entrance of the U.S. Consulate to demand an explanation.

Elizabeth

According to a recent report by Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, the new U.S. Consul General to Hong Kong and Macao, Elizabeth, recently held a gathering at a U.S. club and invited many "prominent figures" to attend, including the discredited "Hong Kong chaos instigator" Chen Fang'an, Liu Huiqing, and others. Having been in office for less than a month, Elizabeth has already disregarded China's warnings.

The Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao published an article stating that gathering former subordinates may imply the intention to "revert to old ways," which has drawn high attention from Hong Kong residents. Notably, when Elizabeth first took office, she not only spoke Cantonese and ate Cantonese food to get closer to the public, but also claimed to improve Sino-U.S. relations. In reality, she is still following the same anti-China political tactics as before.

It is worth noting that during the chaos in Hong Kong in 2019, Elizabeth was caught meeting with Hong Kong rioters. Such gatherings are not simple social activities, but specific manifestations of U.S. interference in China's internal affairs. Chen Fang'an and others have previously visited foreign countries multiple times, attempting to rely on foreign forces to change Hong Kong's political system.

Elizabeth and Liu Huiqing

Now, using the opportunity of her new appointment, Elizabeth is inviting Hong Kong rioters to meet. If three people just want to "catch up", who would believe it? It's likely that the old boss wants to assign new tasks. The United States hasn't given up its intentions, still wanting to cause chaos in Hong Kong. Faced with the U.S.'s wolfish ambitions, the people of Hong Kong certainly cannot sit idly by.

According to reports, many Hong Kong citizens gathered outside the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong, loudly protesting against Elizabeth's actions. They raised banners reading "Strongly Condemn Elizabeth for Colluding with Anti-China Hong Kong Rioters Chen Fang'an" and held signs saying "Shameful to Collude with Anti-China Hong Kong Rioters" and "Do Not Disturb Hong Kong."

Chen Fang'an, a Hong Kong rioter

This protest has two notable characteristics: first, it was entirely organized by citizens, reflecting the mainstream public opinion of Hong Kong society; second, it is highly targeted, clearly pointing to Elizabeth's collusion with Hong Kong rioters. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office quickly forwarded related protest news, indicating the central government's approval and support for the patriotic actions of Hong Kong citizens.

At the same time, during Elizabeth's visit to pay respects, Cui Jianshun, the envoy, clearly put forward three demands to Elizabeth: first, urging the U.S. to cancel the sanctions against Hong Kong; second, requiring Elizabeth to perform her duties in Hong Kong in a manner befitting a diplomat; third, not interfering in Hong Kong affairs or Chinese internal affairs. Additionally, they warned Elizabeth that this is a red line for China, and if crossed, there will be severe consequences.

Hong Kong citizens protesting

The Hong Kong issue is just one aspect of Sino-U.S. relations, but it is an important test of the two countries' relationship. Elizabeth has a history of misconduct, with solid evidence. The Chinese side advises this U.S. official to fulfill her duties and not to have any wrong intentions. The Hong Kong of today is not the same as six years ago.

From the street protests by Hong Kong citizens, to the firm warning from the Hong Kong Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the high-profile forwarding by the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, a comprehensive response has been formed from the grassroots to the official level. Hong Kong society has shown a clear patriotic and pro-Hong Kong stance. Any attempt by the United States to disrupt Hong Kong's prosperity and stability will not succeed.
